Rear Suspension Springs Problems of Mercedes Benz E320

Safety and reliability of the Mercedes Benz airmatic suspension systems is a major issue, please check car owner forums as there are many cars as new as 2007 and 2008's that have airmatic suspension safety and reliability issues, these cars are prone to airmatic suspension problems from the c class sport models to the e and s classes as well, I have never seen such mass repair and safety issues, however most or all people that have the airmatic suspensions will at some point have repairs that can result in the car dropping to the ground while driving with no warning, we are speaking cars that are by most standards considered to be low mileage vehicles, my car has 64k miles and is a mercedes 2003 E320, the front airsprings go out without warning, you will receive a dash warning only after the suspension has given out,. There are 4 airsprings for my car at a repair cost for the front airsprings at a cost of $1,500. 00 per side, and knowing that there are 2 more airsprings in the rear of the car that could give out without warning rendering the vehicle inoperable once again, so you literally have four possibilities of suspension failure, you will be at the mercy of a flatbed tow truck, as well as damage to the underside of the cars as they sit so low to the ground that it makes it very difficult to tow, knowing that the rubber bellows on the suspension of these cars are very fragile and cannot be repaired causing mass failure of the airspring unit, the unit is sold as a dealer only item at a cost of $1,000. 00 each for each front side and cannot be repaired. . The fact is that the suspension systems are faulty when you have so many mass failures. . . . My car is not drivable at this time and failed with no warning at all, would it have been acceptable had the suspension failed or dropped while driving the car, I am blessed to have not had the suspension fail while driving, as this could have been a very dangerous safety situation. . . . .
